Project: Mexican American War

Categories: Military and War Project | Mexican American War Project | Mexican-American War

--- The Mexican American War Project is a Sub-Project of the Military and War Project!

This sub project is for members who manage profiles of individuals or free space pages of units that were involved in the Mexican–American War, or who have a historical interest in that conflict.

This was also known as the Mexican War, the Mexican American War or the Invasion of Mexico, was an armed conflict between the United States and the Centralist Republic of Mexico (which became the Second Federal Republic of Mexico during the war) from 1846 to 1848. It followed in the wake of the 1845 U.S. annexation of Texas, which Mexico considered part of its territory, despite the 1836 Texas Revolution.
